Cuomo, Nixon post fundraising figures in governor's race

They may have raised around the same amount in the last month, but Gov. Cuomo continues to have vastly more cash on hand than his opponent Cynthia Nixon — even as he ramps up spending in the run-up to the primary.

Cuomo took in $393,367.98 in contributions between July 13 and August 9, while Nixon took in $391,236.68, campaign finance records show. But the two are anything but close in the money race: Cuomo has nearly $24.5 million cash on hand, while Nixon has just $441,856.56 in her coffers.

The way they raked in their contributions in the last month also offer stark differences: Cuomo received 180 individual contributions, while Nixon, who has knocked Cuomo for a dearth of small donors, had 1,193 in the same period.

That brings the total number of individual donations to Nixon’s campaign to 42,960, her campaign said — noting that’s more than Cuomo has received over the course of four election cycles.

“We are seeing a level of grassroots momentum that Cuomo has failed to tap into during his entire two decade career in New York politics,” campaign manager Hayley Prim said. “There is a real hunger in New York to elect a real progressive who is beholden to the people, not corporations and millionaires.”

Cuomo spent nearly $7.4 million on the race in the last month — the majority of it on television advertising.

He’s also launched a federal PAC — dubbed the “Cuomo NY Take Back the House Federal PAC,” in order to spread out some campaign cash among congressional candidates.

It made donations in the maximum amount, $2,700, to Democrats running for Congress across the state, his campaign said.

“With Trump and Republicans in Washington threatening New York’s way of life — from health care and women’s rights to immigration and tax reform — the governor is laser-focused on taking back the U.S. House to protect the people of this state,” campaign manager Maggie Moran said.
